Britney Spears is pregnant with third child as pop star gushes ‘I’m having a baby!’

Britney Spears is pregnant with her third child.

Already the Toxic hitmaker has two sons Jaden and Sean with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Now the singer, 40, is expecting a baby with Sam Asghari after previously expressing her hopes of starting a family with her fiancé.

She wrote on Instagram: “I am having a baby... It’s growing! If two are in there I might just lose it.”

Her pregnancy comes 15 years after the birth of her second son.

In her announcement, the songstress also spoke candidly about previously having suffered with perinatal depression while she was pregnant before.

In full, she wrote: “I lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back… I thought “Geez … what happened to my stomach ???”

“My husband said “No you’re food pregnant silly !!!” So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well… I am having a baby… 4 days later I got a little more food pregnant.

“It’s growing!!! If 2 are in there… I might just lose it… I obviously won’t be going out as much due to the paps getting their money shot of me like they unfortunately already have…

“It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression… I have to say it is absolutely horrible… Women didn’t talk about it back then.

“Some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her… But now women talk about it everyday…

“Thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret… This time I will be doing yoga every day!!! Spreading lots of joy and love!!!”

It comes just months after her 13-year conservatorship came to an end as Spears continues to enjoy her new-found freedom.

For 13 years, her dad Jamie Spears had legal control over her career and her money after the pop star had a mental breakdown in 2008.

During her court testimony, she said conservators made her stay on birth control so she could not have children which was against her desire to get married and have a baby with her love.

At the time, she testified: “I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself so that I don’t get pregnant, but [my team doesn’t] want me to have any more children.”

Spears and Asghari go way back. Sparks flew when the couple first met on the set of her Slumber Party party music video back in 2016. The rest is history.

They took their relationship to the next stage when they got engaged last year after many years together.
